Thread: can't connect to PostgreSQL Database using pgAdminII

I already created the database, the services are good
as well as the network connection but still I can't
connect to the Database. I'm using pgAdminII for
win98. The errors I've encountered are listed below:


Could not connect to the server;
Could not connect to remote socket.

Check each of the following possible causes of this
error:
- The server or port specified is incorrect.

- The client workstation cannot establish a network
connection to the server. Try using 'ping' on the
workstation to check the network.

- The server is not listening on a TCP/IP port. Make
sure that the postmaster was started with the -i
option, or that tcpip_socket = true is set in
$PGDATA/postgresql.conf.

did you started your database using the -i parameter ?

send-me the startup string you are using.

I just went through this same thing today.  You will also need to go into your postgresql.conf file and set tcpip_socket=true and yes spaces matter (tcpip_socket = true will not work).
